WIMBLEDON, England — On Friday morning tennis fans were on Henman Hill, a grassy knoll at the edge of the All England Tennis Club, prepping for a fight.

The area, also nicknamed Murray Mound, has long been the place where spectators congregate to watch matches on a large outdoor video screen. They sprawl out on the grass, have picnics, even do the wave.

This year, for the first time at the tournament, fans on the hill could also use the Wimbledon app to vote on which matches they wanted shown on the screen.
